2 “Declare among the nations and proclaim,set up a banner and proclaim,
conceal it not, and say:

her idols are dismayed.’
Habakkuk 2:18-19
18 g“What profit is an idolwhen its maker has shaped it,
a metal image, ha teacher of lies?
For its maker trusts in his own creation
when he makes ispeechless idols!
19 jWoe to him kwho says to a wooden thing, Awake;
to a silent stone, Arise!
Can this teach?
Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver,
and lthere is no breath at all in it.
